Confidence without humility is arrogance. Humility is foundation of all the
virtues. It is a sign of greatness. Humility does not mean self-demeaning
behavior that would amount to belittling oneself. Sincere humility attracts
but false humility detracts.
Many years ago, a rider came across some soldiers who were trying to move a
heavy log without success. The corporal was standing by as the men struggled.
The rider asked the corporal why he wasn't helping. The corporal replied, ``I
am the corporal; I give orders.'' The rider dismounted, went up to the
soldiers and helped them to lift the log. With his help, the log got moved.
The rider quietly mounted his horse and went to the corporal and said, ``The
next time your men need help, send for the commander-in-chief.'' After he
left, the corporal and his men found out that the rider was George Washington.
The message is clear. Success and humility go hand in hand. When others blow
your horn, the sound goes further. Just think about it. Simplicity and
humility are two hallmarks of greatness.
